THE damage done ia Michigan by
the forest fires this spring lie estimated
at 81 ,o0O, 900, large part of which is
due to the town of Lake Linden. This
is a terrible loss to the State. but there
is really no one to blame for it except
the people of Michigan themselves.
For years they have been cutting
down their pine forests and leaving
the ground strewn for miles with the
boughs cut from the trunks. The re-
suit is that the Upper Peninsula is
nothing more Bor less than a huge
brush heap, dry as finder. and a source
of awful danger to all new settlements.

lature of Michigan can devise some

to ship a car load a week during the

Childrens Day.

The M. E. Church of this place
was filled to its utmost capacity last
Sunday to witness the services of
the children on that occasion.
Heavens choicest sunlight mingled
with a delightful breeze contributed
much to the occasion. The summer
attire of the children blended with
the scene of the flowers of various

long to be remembered by US all.
The programme prepared by the New
York Book Concern was used. The
service WAS opened by singing "the

then offered by the Past or. Rev. /.

The Agricultural College.

We publish from the american
Farmer an account of meeting held
on the 26th of May at this institution,
which is not college where agricul-
ture is taught either in theory or
practice-or for that matter anything
else.-Every farmer should read the
account of this farce which will be
found in our agricultural department,
as told by Mr.. Sands, editor of the
Farmer. $1,000 of public money is
squandered in this rookery yearly,
which in place of being benefit is a
disgrace to the farmers of the state
No candidate for the Legislature
the ffafmefs Ad4 44si tiot" pledged to
uproot and reorganize this so called
college, by cutting loose from it the
appropriation, when it would collapse
of its own -ottenness. Let this be
one Of the pledges exacted of the can
didates for legislative honors this
fall. This roost for dead beat pol
iticians should be wiped out. A
strenuous effort will be made by the
controllers of this octapus to get hold
of the U. S. Government appropria-
tion to the state for the purpose of
establishing experimental stations,
and we want men in the legislature
who know enough and care enough
for the interests of the farmers, to be
able and ready to defeat all further
schemes for plunder through this
counterfeit college, and either organ.
ize the concern on an entirely new
basis-or wipe out all connection
with it as state institution. This
miscalled Agricultural College is one
of the most stupendots frauds in
the State.

The Law and Order League of Port
seem to have relapsed into the old
time apathy and the pear cider men
are coming out of their holes again,
growing more and more bold. For
merly the charge was made that the
old "locai option" law was so loose
in its joints that it wouldn't hold
even tramp, and when a stronger
law could be had the Temperance
sentiment" promised to clerk" the
violators. The Temperance senti.
ment" in other quarters are inquir-
ing when the jerking is likely to be-
gin. The rear cider brigade paint
the town, smash lamps, hold circuses
in the street and amuses itself with
sundry little pleassntries of this
kind. but the League doesn't rise to
remark" Guess the Temperance
sentiment" of that town must like
cider too.

ColOra, June 18th 1887.

Children's day was appropriately OBJ
served by the Sunday School of West Not
tingham Presbyterian Church, on Sunday
June 18th. The church was handsomely
decorated, the day previous. by the teach
ers and scholars of the school. The schol-
adjoining the church, ard after some pre-
liminary exercises marched into the church
where seats were reserved for them. The
school being large, occupied nearly one
half of the church. The exercises were op-
ened by voluntary, Miss Mary F. Giles
pie presiding at the organ, while the
scholars, 1--WE cannot say children, as we
noticed quite large number of young men
and also middle aged men, and young la
dies, as the school came into the church,
in the procession) were being seated. The
school then sang hymn of "Welcome,"
when prayer was offered by the pastor Rev.
S. A. Gayley.
The Superintendent of the school John
w. Mccullough asked the school the first
four Commandments. when the school again
sang "Beautiful Zion.'
After singing the Superintendent con-
tinued the questions of the commandments
when the school again sang "Praise and
magnify the name Of Christ, our King.'
and were again lead in prayer by Rev. Mr..
Gayley, who closed his prayer by repeating
the Lords Prayer, the school and congre-
cation joining with him.
The school sang ''The Son of God goes
forth to War; after which the Superintend-
ent asked some questions in regard to Gods
love, responded by the school, Prof. Bech-
tel being the leader. The school sang "The
Water of Life" after which the smaller
children alone sang "Come let US join our
cheerful songs"
Rev. Mr.. Gayley delivered the address
Let us say that it was one very appropriate
to the occasion and was most excellent, as
he takes very great interest in the Sunday
After the address iiie'is the Smaller children
sang, Bringing in the Sheaves."
A circular letter from Rev. J. A. Ward
en-. the Secretary of Sunday School work Of
the Presbyterian Church, was read by the
Superintendent asking that the collection
taken up be devoted to the missionary
work in connection with the Board of Pub
lication.
The pastor made some explanatory re-
marks in regard to the object of this part of
the Sunday School work, and was followed
by the Superintendent, who:gavelus some of
the statistical reports from the mission
work after which the school sang .Giye."
and as is customary on all such occasions
a collection was taken, after which the con.
gregation sang the Doxology, and the Ben
ediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr..
Gayley. We think the school acquitted
themselves very we'll in all the exercises
both in singing and in their responses.
To much praise cannot be given to the
lady teachers who have had the work of
drilling the scholars in singing and for the
very tasteful manner in which they decor
ated the church. In regard to these dec
orations we think that they were Just right.

Not the least among the advantages that

as resorts of pleasure, along its shores.
